Sew a vintage-inspired Dress or Blouse with the Viola PDF Sewing Pattern! The Viola Dress & Blouse is the latest addition to our vintage collection, featuring a button up front, flat collar, gathers at the waist and shoulder, a lined back yoke, slightly dropped shoulder and a wide waistband. The pièce de résistance is the shirred panel at the back, which makes Viola comfortable to wear whilst giving you a beautiful fitted look. Make Viola as a high-waist Blouse to pair with high-waisted bottoms like our Peggy Trousers or Ultimate Pencil Skirt, or sew yourself a beautiful Viola Dress. The midi skirt gathers into the waistband to mirror the bodice and closes with buttons down the front. And yes, it has pockets! You can pick between two sleeve lengths for both versions: a short sleeve with a turn-up or a longer sleeve gathered into a cuff. Choose fabrics with structure such as cotton poplin or chambray for a crisp Viola, something drapey like viscose or crepe for a softer look. Have a look at our Viola Pinterest Board for inspiration and see what everyone’s making on Instagram by browsing hashtags #soivioladress & #soiviolablouse.
